Looking for Junior Teams to play Team Battle

You're in @BARBOROSSA
I am waiting for the latest confirmations from the team leaders: there is only one team in group A, one in group B and two in C - as soon as I know how many places are available and how many teams we are, I prepare the fourth group.
Yesterday Leagues went well, 660 players from all over the world! I hope all the kids had a great time as much as my team members had. However, with almost 40 teams competing, it became necessary to change something. Many of you wrote to me, obviously there were problems, it was inevitable. I replied and asked everyone for advice and the following is what we decided together.

For convenience and to save time (quite a lot actually) I decided to tag everyone in this post. The most important thing however, for me is, in addition to not wasting time unnecessarily, that you don't feel my actions as an intrusion into your private so if you want I can remove your name immediately from the list below where you can find the new lineups and the links for the tournaments (lichess asks at least 3 teams to launch the tournament, so I put everywhere mine, Monte Grande and Crowborough, but I'll remove them as soon as I add the others).

The update in the regulation is this - and I will highlight it on the web page rentry.co/worldwide-junior-chess

1) the groups should be closed and the captains should know the boys playing, we should all be sure that there are only Under 16. If the groups are not closed please consider the idea of ​​advertising the tournament only with the players you know. However, in this way we could not avoid, as has happened, that the same player enrolls in multiple teams and participates in multiple Leagues.

2) new accounts should not participate, especially those created on the day of the tournament but also not those created in the week preceding the competitions.

The new tournaments follow, as usual I removed the only teams that neither participated nor replied to the messages. Updates will be made on the web page, in case someone gives up❗Please let me know if you still want to play next week by Wednesday ❗

Saturday 9 May, Week 5

I know very well that I am doing this together with very strong clubs and with experienced coaches and organizers, and I am more than happy to listen to the advice of anyone who wants to help.
Hi @Permafrost,

Thanks and congrats again for organizing such a nice online event for young players !
The Bischwiller Junior Team is happy to be part of the adventure. Group D is Ok.
I hope I can have more players.
Kind regards.
Hi @Permafrost
in first. thank you for these tournaments. its really good job and good idea. of course we play in next tournaments.
also, i want offer to create individual tournament , where can play all players from our teams, and i think all captains join to that tournmanet. it will be big practice for our students.
time kontrol 10 min without addition. if you and coaches like this idea, can you organize?
Thanks @BischwillerChess and @abdullayev_elshad
The idea of ​​an Open is very interesting. We were talking about it with @Priprema1, because some suggested a Team Battle for adults, others suggested an Eastern Division (with different times from the current ones).

I had thought of an Open Warm Up, to be played also on Saturday but at 11 am (CET).

What do you think about it? If you think it's a good idea, it remains to decide time control and how to make it closed to us (or not?) - maybe just creating a group and joining all of us, putting any coach who wants to be as Team Leader.
Just to add to everyone else's positive comments - thank you and well done for organising this team competition.
Don't forget teams are playing in other tournaments etc - we for example have at least an event every day so probably more events will not be attractive to us.
